´Valentino Rossi, MotoGenius´, a new biography of the Italian Champion

A new biography dedicated to Valentino Rossi has just been published : as the Italian rider adds new success to his career, new books about his way to glory are published and the last one is entitled ´Valentino Rossi, MotoGenius´. This biography was written by Mat Oxley, a journalist who has been familiar to the GP scene for the last 20 years, and who has also written a book about another legendary rider, Mick Doohan.

The book was written in close co-operation with Rossi himself and his family, and his fans will discover unusual pictures of the Italian. The ´Valentino phenomenon´ got its roots pretty early, under the influence of father and former rider Graziano Rossi. The World reigning Champion is portrayed in his early years and in his first stints on two wheels.

In about 150 pages, this biography takes the reader to the various aspect of the Italian rider, who´s already a legend of motorcycling despite his young age. The author wrote about the various steps of his career, but also about the technical specifications of his bikes (including the Honda RCV 2002), and his trademark sense of humour.
